Michigan Stinger Stinger Rig

This rig is arguably the most deadly trolling rig on the market for Lake Trout fishing. The Stinger rig has been adapted for freshwater using the "umbrella" concept that has been so successful in saltwater for large predatory fish. The Stinger Rig resembles a school of baitfish when trolled ahead of your favorite lure. Although designed to be used primarily for Lake Trout the Stinger Rig has proven deadly for many other species including salmon. When trolling the Stinger Rig for Lake Trout we recommend a speed below 2 mph but are effective at any speed for many other species.

Recommended leader lengths for spin n' glows, peanuts and cut bait is 24 inches and for spoons and plugs is 30 inches.
